Why 'women who eat on tubes'? Surely it applies to either sex or can food nowadays differentiate between the two and choose itself to be either smelly or not?

There has to be exceptions: I was stuck on a LB bound train yesterday for an additional hour due to a broken track. After being on the train for 1 hour and 20 mins if a jobsworth or fellow passenger had asked me to stop eating my tracker bar my belly would have rumbled more in anger rather than hunger!

Never heard of this site, and I certainly won't be visiting it any time soon. Why do I want to see pictures of people eating on a tube? Anyone taking the photos or looking on this site should take up train spotting as it will be a positive move to become less of a saddo!

As for the issue of eating on public transport, personally no issue with it.

Why just women? Don't men eat on trains or public transport also? That's kind of sexist.
Men are just as guilty of eating and smelling confined areas out with food and discarded food wrappings as women. It works both ways.
Either way, I do't mind if they do eat on tube/train/buses, providing the food does not stink the place out, however, I do mind if they discard their waste packaging on transport floors/seats etc for others to have to sit near or wade past, or put up with the smell left on them, that's when they should not be eating on public transport.If you cannot be responsible when discarding the waste then don't eat on public transport.

What an intolerant society we are becoming these days. Who gives a **** if someone is eating on a tube/train. People are so busy trying to earn a crust (pardon the pun) there is often little time to eat a proper meal.

As for a councillor 'wading in' to this debate, surely she should be doing something more productive with her time like helping constituents.

How I laugh when those involved in politics take the moral ground on something so insignificant when the expenses scandal, ie committing fraud against the taxpayer, is still a bad taste in the mouth.

Either way, I do't mind if they do eat on tube/train/buses, providing the food does not stink the place out, however, I do mind if they discard their waste packaging on transport floors/seats etc for others to have to sit near or wade past, or put up with the smell left on them, that's when they should not be eating on public transport.If you cannot be responsible when discarding the waste then don't eat on public transport.

Why just women? Don't men eat on trains or public transport also? That's kind of sexist.
Men are just as guilty of eating and smelling confined areas out with food and discarded food wrappings as women. It works both ways.
Either way, I do't mind if they do eat on tube/train/buses, providing the food does not stink the place out, however, I do mind if they discard their waste packaging on transport floors/seats etc for others to have to sit near or wade past, or put up with the smell left on them, that's when they should not be eating on public transport.If you cannot be responsible when discarding the waste then don't eat on public transport.[/p][/quote]men arent offended by being seen eating i assume.london10

In a lot of cities they don't allow eating on the underground. Don't even know why it's allowed here. It's disgusting.

people have to eat, jobless people have plenty of time to eat elsewhere, many commuters have such a busy day they have to snack as and when they can, have you ever thought some people have a type of diabetes as well, and need to eat regularly, or have physical jobs and need to eat and drink. What do you think they should do wait till 9pm when some of them get in to eat. You eat in restaurants where others eat, and on trains. You either lead a privileged life and have time on your hands or are on the dole, not everyone's lives are the same as yours.

There's something about that photo and it's just come to me, it reminds me of my grandmother in the 40's when she was young.

Another Tory that's in tune with the world then :-P

Totally agree, there is the question of people's choice of food though, things that smell strongly for example or setting out an entire meal on the central line at 7pm....
